January 7th Topic of Interest: Business Incentives!!
Town of Warrenton Economic Development Manager, Heather Stinson, will be presenting the proposed business incentive programs to Town Council. The incentives are the first step in developing a suite of incentive programs to attract, retain and grow businesses within the Town of Warrenton with a focus on Tourism, Technology and Defense and the impact those industries can have on our local economy. The incentives will target new investment and jobs to both new and existing businesses. Heather is very open to discussing the programs with our members and welcomes phone calls and/or emails with any questions, concerns and feedback prior to the council work session on Thursday. She can be reached at 540-422-8270 or hstinson@warrentonva.gov.
How does the process work? The council will have the opportunity to preview and discuss the incentive programs with Ms. Stinson Thursday night during the work session (while open to the public to attend, it is not necessarily the forum for public feedback, however Ms. Stinson can cover any questions, concerns, feedback provided to her prior to the meeting (see above) during her time. There will be Public Hearing on the proposed business incentives at the Town Council meeting on Tuesday, January 12th. This is the time for open discussion, questions for council to consider, etc. Please plan to limit your discussion to less than five minutes. Council will likely close the hearing and vote on the question to adopt the proposed incentives that evening – or it may be delayed for further discussion and discovery if necessary.
